Hard to tell from the pictures. I thought it looked in some areas like a Contemporary, but the foot boxes look wrong.

Original Stewart Warner gauges????? Are they as original as the Richmond 5 speed tranny?

I'd watch out for anyone who admits to over $100K for restoration and will let it go for $69K

He's got it set up with plenty of ground clearance, that's for sure.

I don't want to discuss if you can call the "original" the car where you put some genuine parts, but the one in question is absolutely not convincing. I was proud owner of the Big Snake in the seventies and must say that the optical impression was quite different!

Huh? Then don't discuss it, we will. It's the glass body that bothers me. It just doesn't grab me.........
